        It's very sad when a laughingstock token thinks he is really being taken seriously by white supremacists when really he is being patronized for being a useful dupe.

        great piece but not sure what the "almost all of whom hail from rural India" implication is here. desis from cities exhibit just as much, if not more, anti-blackness than do rural folks

        We all subconsciously project a desire for bigoted backwardness to be the result of a lack of technological or institutional development. It makes the goal of ridding ourselves of societal prejudice seem much less arduous than it really is.

        Valuable reminder of the real nro despite their anti trump yapping. Their issue is with the man, not the cause.

        Is that supposed to say "South Indian" or "South Asian"?
